I moved to Milan from NYC; where are the BARBER SHOPS?

Question

I just moved to Milan 10 days ago. I am a black american male and I am in DESPERATE need of a Barber Shop. In NYC there are different barber shops for people of color and people of non-color (Not becasue of discrimination but just because of the difference in cutting hair) I have been told by some people that in MIlan...EVERYONE (black/italian/white) has their hair cut at the same places. Does anyone know where I can go to get my hair cut??? PLEASE!!

Also, I speak no Italian so it has not been working well to go up to people on the streets and ask

Help Please!

...James

I live in Milano and I could say you better go to a barber shopo in the center of Milano 'cause mabe they will speak english as there are a lot of tourists in the center. There is a very good one in Via S.Tomaso close to Via  Rovello (close to Via Dante) , the do both men and women. Hope this helps you

Hi James, and welcome to Milan. Hope you like it here...despite your hair problems... I searched the web and found these for you:

AFRO SHOP CLEOPATRA

Corso Buenos Aires, 35

Tel. [phone]

GEMEL

Via M. Melloni, 16

Tel. [phone]

Fax [phone]

BLACK & WHITE UNISEX SALON

Via Napo Torriani

Tel. [phone]

I found them in a web site for Africans in italy: www.inafrica.it but I'm afraid it is only in italian.

Good luck and if u need any help just contact me. I live on the lake of Como but work in Milan, so I know quite a lot about this area

Answer 5

Hi, I live in Italy but not in Milan.  Try going to an African barber shop.  I don't know where the African neighborhood is in Milan but try asking for the "quartiere africano" or asking where the African shops are "Scusi, sa dove sono i negozi africani?".  If you want, just ask an African person for help.  Most speak English or French.

Answer 7

Hi James! OK, don't panic! The barber in Italy is called  "barbiere" OR "parrucchiere per uomo", which is an actual hairdresser for men. The latter will give, let's say, a more complete range of hair "services", from washing, to cutting, to styling, to dyeing.  I don't live in Milan, and you don't say what area you live in, but I found these on the web White Pages:
